Understanding our client's world and helping them to define their market is integral to the success of their products. This photo is a detail shot of this year's best seller for Hearthstone. We take pride in our ability to understand the history of our client's products and to use this knowledge to better express future directions and their relationships to the past. When creating this type of lasting furniture, it might be tempting to create a cliche or a replica of an historical piece. Because unique furniture design for the home is a complex task, the culture must be viewed from many vantage points. The target is larger. In other words, the influences are pulled from further back in time and the design must age gracefully. Consumer product styles usually pull from limited influences and last only years at most and present a different set of challenges. To date we have designed many beautiful products for HearthStone's original wood stove line and created a new line of gas-burning stoves.
